Trump campaign subpoenaed over sexual assault allegations

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - Clinton was impeached for lying in a deposition about a lawsuit. the law suit was over sexual harassment. The courts allowed him to be sued while in office,

"These charges stemmed from a sexual harassment lawsuit ' Thanks for proving my point,

For further evidence the actual articles of Impeachment from a far less impeachable sourse (Wikipedia can be trusted as a primary source for ANYTHING controversial either way)

Out of curiosity, I ran through a list of political sex scandals for federal office holders from 1900 to present. It worked out to 54.5% Republican and 45.5% Democrat. The Democratic Party gets the award for the most outrageously amusing with Wilbur Mills. The Republican Party gets the award for the creepiest with Deninis Hastert.

I could make a big deal to say that Republicans are more compromised, but the reality is that there have been tens of thousands of federal office holders in that time frame, the overwhelming majority served without creating a sex scandal. I suspect that if I examined the full data set, the difference wouldn't rise to significance and the magnitude of the difference too small to be meaningful.

CPT John Sheridan - Not sure what that has to do specifically with my post ... but, while not addressing your percentages since no source was given, I agree with your second paragraph.

As an aside and with no statistics to back it up, it is my perception over the years that Republicans are quicker to punish, in one way or another, those caught up in sex scandals. There are, of course, exceptions - David Vitter, former senator from Louisiana, comes to mind.

LTC (Join to see) - As a engineer/mathematician, I tend to look for evidence as back up when a statistical claim is offered such as 80%. My source was not authoratative and I don't believe there is an authoratative source. A Wikipedia article. Well documented with 154 references, but the article takes care to note that it probably isn't complete and likely never will be.

My actual point is the second paragraph. We often see things as we wish them to be and not how they are. In the political posts, I frequently see people on either side accusing the other side of something or countering an argument with a one-off anecdote. This isn't hypocrisy in most cases as most people earnestly believe what they do. I have learned from years spent in product development and performance testing that an hypothesis, well formed or not, matters less than the data.

With regard to your point, I agree. I rarely start a post because I always do a search first and usually find that two or three people beat me to it.

RE: Political Sex Scandals: Since 1900....were those these Democrats or those Democrats? Remember the great party shift that excuses Democrats from being the party that opposed civil rights?
Need more research to make this relevant and even then we have had a cultural shift in how we perceive women as a whole.
To paraphrase someone: "We have evolved on that subject"
